Newest Sun-Proofing Device: Sunmate'S UV Monitor

Summer's here and the best way to avoid sun damage to your skin is to check the
day's forecasted UV (ultraviolet) index. This information can be found in your
newspaper's daily forecast, weather websites and the EPA's website. The newest way to track the UV index: Sunmate's very portable UV Index Monitor. This will
give you an idea of how strong the sun's UV rays will be, and subsequently, how
strong your sun protection should be. The UV index ranges from 0 to over ten;
0-2 is indicative of low danger, while ten and above is extremely strong. Even
though you may think it's easy to tell when you're outside if the sun is strong,
even on cloudy or partly cloudy days UV light can reach and burn you. Sunmate's
UV Monitor is a small device (only two inches) wide that looks like a tiny
computer mouse. Take it along with you and you can check the current UV index on
the go. If the index goes up, increase your SPF value or make sure to apply
more sunscreen. And always start
your day with a moisturizer that has at least an SPF value of 15.
